Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior,
you work in mysterious ways.
EPHESIANS 3:8-9 (NLT)
Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ. I was chosen to explain to everyone is mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's ways are always going to be somewhat myterious to us—and thus surprising.
DAILY FODDER
Does it bother you that God has a mysterious side that we can never fully know?
PRAYER
Great God, you are full of secrets that are always going to be beyond me. Forgive me for pretending that I know more about you than I do. Help me to accept your myterious ways as normal. I'm going to revel in the surprises. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.

Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
